If it is true that all Netflix originals are available to all of their subscribers worldwide (witness the fact that shows like "Squid Game" and "Lupin" are available to U.S. subscribers and popular), WTF would they basically do two versions of the same premise from two different suppliers, the only difference being that on one the contestants are playing for U.S. currency and on the other they're playing for pound sterling? Yeah, "Best Shazam" and the "Name That Tune" reboot are essentially the same premise, but they're only being seen on the same network in the U.S. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
